This week we paint beautiful plum fruits, I don't profess to be the best at painting bloom but I use this technique with some success, keep perfecting the edges and don't lose the contrast between light and dark. This technique works for black grapes too.

Each tutorial project consists of a video, lasting on average 50 minutes. A .pdf download pack with line drawing, materials list and reference images to help you get started.

Filmed visits to some of Britain’s most beautiful gardens.

I have taken so many online watercolor classes. I have never had a class I have enjoyed as much as yours! Though I struggle thru the lessons, (because I'm aiming for perfection) I love how you show us the technical details that other classes just do not have. I love how you explain why it's important to do something and how you go over step by step every single detail! If it doesn't look like yours, I re-wind and watch again...and usually I have that ahhh-haaa! moment!! I just wanted to tell you how very much I enjoy and learn from your classes! I recommend them to everyone in all of my FB groups!
